fat people are killing themselves too. they face even more health problems than the underweight in fact.
but it's not acceptable to talk about them in the terms that are being used about thin people at the moment. we couldn't call overweight women disgusting, unfeminine, 'not real women'.
there's a double standard and i really don't like it.
i also think that thin but healthy people are having a tough time. some newspapers have called for a boycott against size 4 clothing, which some stores were trying to introduce. some very petite people, especially some chinese and indian ladies, need that size yet they are healthy. i've even found a 6 was too big once. i'm 4'10" and small boned, i'm not underweight at all but my measurements are small
if i were to call for a boycott of size 20 clothes i'd be vilified
